Religion, always an interesting subject. Even on the ferry between the Vietnamese coast and the small island of Quan Lan, in the country’s northwestern Bay Tu Long Bay. Not quite sure who to pray to, perhaps they are just trying to cover all their bases. Or, it could be a service to the passengers of the boat that goes back and forth every day, for during the occasional storm that sends the tiny boat rocking and bobbing. Clutching the wooden seats, chewing on lips, they can pick whichever deity is their favorite.
